Prem Auti, the IIM Ahmedabad graduate is currently working as a Product Manager at Unbxd Inc. Post his stint in the engineering domain as a Calibration Engineer at Bajaj Auto, Prem decided to pursue an MBA and thus began his journey at prestigious IIM Ahmedabad. 

But Prem was not an ordinary student. From receiving a gold medal from the former President, Sir Pranab Mukherjee, for securing the first rank in his university to being recognised by the MHRD for his excellent performance in engineering, he had numerous accolades under his belt. And even though he apparently was the “star kid” all through his life, his journey had hurdles of its own. 

In this chapter of D2C Chronicles, Prem shares invaluable insights from his B-School life, highlighting how he couldn't land a PPO from his interning organization and why that was the best thing that happened to him. He goes on to talk about his current role at a start-up - Unbxd Inc. and how the life of a Product Manager at a start-up is different from that of an established organization. 

Prem’s story is that of perseverance, hard work and it teaches us an important lesson - everything falls into place in the end. It is people like him that burn the midnight oil and make us believe in the common quote - hard work is the key to success!
